commemorate the opening of
UNC-G by its founder,
Charles Duncan Mclver, in
1892. The institution was
known then as State Normal
and Industrial College. In
1919, it was renamed the
North Carolina College for

When Mclver Building was

of colored lights to produce
different patterns on the side
of the building. However,
when the mural was
activated. objection was
raised over the use of red
light. As a result, the mural
was deactivated, and it has
remained so ever since.

Advisor to the Senate read its
report and recommendations.
A motion was made that the
vote on whether lo accept the

SGA lo Fight
Vote Amendment
SGA Solicits Use
Of University Cars
Members of the UNC-G
Student Government
Association are trying to
obtain permission to use
University owned cars. "The
use of these cars will help the
students carry out University
business and will also broaden
their educational experiences.
Students need the freedom to
attend educational
conferences and seminars
without having to be
contingent on a faculty
member's attendance,"
declared Steve Underwood,
President of SGA.
During an interview
Steve stated that the central
problem in getting permission
to use University cars
depends on whether or not
the student's business is
related to the University.
Steve was quoted as saying,
"Providing the needed
transportation will help the
student to better serve th
University and also help him
to gain further knowledge
throughout the community.
Student Government officials
are here to represent the
University on and off
campus. When representing
the University, the student
should have the same rights as
the faculty and
administration to University
services."
The Legislative Liasion
Committee, of the North
Carolina Student Legislature
met and voted to present a
resolution concerning a
proposed amendment to the
North Carolina constitution.
This proposed amendment
will be on the ballot
November 7, 1972, and reads
as follows:
'To amend Article Vi,
Section I of the North
Carolina Constitution so as to
lower the age of voting to 18
years and to provide
eligibility to office to persons
21 years of age or over."
The matter will soon be
before the North Carolina
voters, Steve Underwood,
President of SGA, explained
that "The problem lies within
the second part of the
amendment. Those people 18
to 21 years of age who want
to hold offices in North
Carolina are restricted to do
so by the proposed
amendment." What Steve
wants to do is to publicize
this fact so that those people
who agree this part of the
amendment is unfair will vote
against it.
Skipper Bowles,
Democratic candidate for
governor of North Carolina,
and Richard Ebbs, Student
Body President at Chapel
Hill, have expressed their
opinions on the' matter, and
both are against it.
A poll was taken of 76
senators that are up for
election this fall concerning
the proposed amendment; 43
of those running returned it
and 42 were against it.
Steve Underwood and
SGA are willing to help or
join with others to defeat this
bill. Students here at the
University can help by
contacting their own
representative in their
hometown or city to see if
their county is for or against
the amendment.
Another way to help
publicize the matter would be
through the newspaper. You
or your legislator can put an
article in your hometown
newspaper, and in this way all
counties will be aware of the
proposed amendment.
"We are concerned that
those who read over the bill
will find it suitable at first
glance due to its ambigious
language. We want people to
be familiar with both parts of
the amendment before voting
for or against it," stated
Steve. Not only will your
concern be a help to SGA but
also a help to the state.
